Worship at Berea UMC: July 21, 10 am
As many of you know, we have been initiating conversations with area UM pastors interested in developing partnerships with each other in fellowship, missions, and worship. While respecting the independence of our churches, we are discovering as pastors and laity that there are certainly things that we can do better together than on our own. The successful fundraising effort in support of the Nehemiah Mission in Cleveland led by the laity of our church with the support of seven other UM churches is a great example of what God can do when we team together!
Pastor Hoyte recently met with Rev. Dr. Steve Knisely, pastor of Berea UMC. One of the good outcomes of the meeting was an invitation from Steve on behalf of Berea UMC for NOUMC to join them for an outdoor worship service on their lawn at 10am on Sunday, July 21. This will be a lot of fun and a good opportunity to share in worship with our brothers and sisters at Berea UMC! All are invited to provide a potluck dish of your choice to share for the fellowship luncheon immediately following the service.
Summer Vacation Bible School
Bring your younger children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, or any young children in your care to our summer VBS sessions! Spend some fun one-on-one time with the young people in your life as you hear a Bible story, engage in a craft and a game, get up and dance, and enjoy a yummy snack together! This is a hands-on experience, and adults should plan to stay the entire time. Our VBS Summer Sessions will be held on Thursday, July 25th, Tuesday, July 30th, and Wednesday, August 7th, from 10 AM – 12PM. The sessions will be held on a different day of the week each week to accommodate your busy schedules. Each session is a stand-alone. If you would like to participate, or if you have a relative, friend or neighbor who would like to participate with the children in their lives, please invite them…. all are welcome! If you have any questions, email Wendy at sundayschool@noumc.org.
